You probably have to specify the io address and/or irq. Start the
installation in expert mode and you will get this possibilty.

Have a look at http://hpoj.sourceforge.net
I even made som SuSE 7.0 rpms, that will have all to get you started, after
installing the rpm. you will have a daemon started each time you boot
(/sbin/init.d/ptal-printd), then you can use the device
/dev/ptal-printd/mlc_mlcpp0 as if it where /dev/lp0, the rpms are found on
http://213.237.48.227/~jarl/hpoj/

I compiled ker 2.4.0 on a RH7.0, and most of it is well, except for two
things:
1.
Jan 6 17:14:19 orion rpc.lockd: lockdsvc: Invalid argument
Jan 6 17:14:19 orion nfslock: rpc.lockd startup failed
Any reasons for that? Did I missconfigure something? Do I need a more
recent version of rpc?
2.
Jan 6 17:14:19 orion kernel: Linux agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff
Hartmann
Jan 6 17:14:19 orion kernel: agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for
agp memory: 94M

but could not find the secondary device.
...
Jan 6 17:16:54 orion kernel: [drm:r128_init] *ERROR* Cannot initialize
agpgart module.
Here's how I configured the AGPART/DRI:
CONFIG_AGP=y
CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=y
CONFIG_AGP_I810=y
CONFIG_AGP_VIA=y
CONFIG_AGP_AMD=y
CONFIG_AGP_SIS=y
CONFIG_AGP_ALI=y
CONFIG_DRM=y
# CONFIG_DRM_TDFX is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_GAMMA is not set
CONFIG_DRM_R128=m
# CONFIG_DRM_I810 is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_MGA is not set
The info on dri.sourceforge.net (DRI user guide and DRI compilation
guide) is somewhat confusing. The user guide says that the kernel module
r128.o is going to be used by r128_dri.so, so I assume I had to compile
r128.o. However, the compilation guide says not to compile the kernel
module (r128.o).
Also, I saw some posts on dejanew mentioning something about /dev/dri. I
don't have that, nor did I find any info on it. Any suggestions?

Subject: Remote printing problem
Date: 6 Jan 2001 22:05:37 GMT
I am trying to print from one linux box to a printer on another linux box and
am failing.
I set up an entry in the printcap file for the FROM machine per the
Printing-HOWTO.
I then put the name of the FROM machine into the file hosts.lpd on the TO
machine.
When I print on the FROM machine (pr filename | lpr), I get an entry into the
queue on the from machine, but it goes nowhere.
lpq on the FROM machine gives:
..................
FROMMACHINENAME: waiting for queue to be enabled on TOMACHINENAME
list of entries in local quese
TOMACHINENAME: lpd: : Your host does not have line printer access
..................
which, to my feeble way of thinking, means the TO machine lpd is rejecting
access from the FROM machine.
What am I missing? How do I get this seemingly simple process to work?
Thanks,
Ollie

Getting a screw driver would be a good place to start. ;-)
But getting serious, although I never used a US Robotics, I think it
will do just fine under RH 5.2 which I used for a loooonnnnggg time on a
486/25 with a Jaton non pnp 33.6 and 56.6 also.
Install the modem using normal proceedures and caution, reboot and RH
5.2 should recognize your modem as ttyS0 for commport 1 or ttyS1 for
commport 2 etc.
Use your control panel and click on the little telephone or run
modemtool from a command line in X and set up your symbolic link for
/dev/modem to which ever commport you have it on. Do your netcfg and you
should be in business.
No X? Little more hairy. I'd recommend B. Ball's "RH Linux Unleashed"
third edition.
Good luck.

Hello,
Too fix the rpc.lockd error download initscripts version >= 5.52. Versions
prior this are not 2.4 aware with regards to rpc.lockd. The latest version
available is initscripts-5.53-1.

The second error looks like it is trying to load r128.o which is the driver
for a Rage 128 chipset not the i815 which you have. As far as I know there
is no DRM module for the i815 yet. Are you using the integrated graphics
from the i815 chipset or do you have a second video card installed with the
Rage 128 chipset?

You can try to get yourself a used BP6 board. Works with Celeron-I's only.
But I would say a single P3 (256kb cache vs. 128kb on Celeron) is better for

I just did my first Debian installation, followed by upgrading to XFree86 4.0.2.
Mostly works fine. However, I cannot access either my IDE atapi cdrom nor my SCSI cd
burner. I tried to add them to fstab, and of course all I got for my efforts were "bad
line" messages. The system honestly can't seem to find the cdrom, even to play a music
cd.! It's a very generic 2 or 3 year old 40x, so it shouldn't require any special
driver the Atapi ought to do it.
And more: sound works as root, not as user. SBLive, using soundcore and EMU10K1.
Lsmod shows the module as installed, but nothing using it. Debian doesn't seem to have
sndconfig...
No dream of printing. How do I set up printing in Debian???

Tried that. I still get the rpc.lockd error. Which is to be expected, since
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfslock is identical in both my old and new initscripts.
However, if I do
1) root:~> /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfslock status
lockd (pid 524) is running...
rpc.statd (pid 366) is running...
so it seems to be ok. Plus, the rpc.lockd man page says the kernel starts
lockd automatically, and that rpc.lockd is not necessary.

I have a Dell Dimension 4100, which comes with the onboard 815, but it also
has the ATI r128 card, which I'd very much like to use it, for the obvious
reasons. When I first posted I had agpgart compiled into the kernel. I've
recompiled it as a module now, so I can pass it options. Any idea where I can
find documentation on this?
Other than booting 2.2.16 and comparing the logs, I'm running out of ideas...

Nope, I have slack 7.1 with the latest (at least up until last
wednesday) kernel, and there'e no "version.h" anywhere in the unpacked
linux-2.2.18 file. The dosemu documentation says this is one of the
most common problems people have, but don't follow that up by telling
you what to do about it. Is this a bug in the kernel release?

It works as whatever you like. Read the Serial HOWTO, before I feel
obliged to get rude (since that would be my umpteentyith explanation
that setserial will set any of the serial devices to look at any of the
IRQs and io addresses that you might wish, whether there is a serial
port there or not, and I wish people would grok this simple fact: setserial
has nothing to do with and does nothing to serial ports nor modems. It
configures a kernel driver. That is all).

No. You are. You will stop being part of the problem when you unconfuse
yourself, possibly by readuing the Serial HOWTO!
